Museum Archive: Vintage XCalibur Excalibur Stick Mark Sosin, 2/5oz 3 fishing lure #7646

Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm) in length, this slender jerkbait represents a notable piece of history from before Heddon’s acquisition of the XCalibur brand. This signature Mark Sosin model carries the cursive script of the legendary angler along its side, paired with the specific product code 7646. The finish features a detailed gold-scale pattern on the upper body and a high-visibility orange belly, categorized as color 3 in the original catalog. At 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is engineered as a suspender, staying neutral in the water column when paused. Its hardware includes three black nickel trebles and a sturdy, clear diving lip tuned for a depth range of 3 - 5 ft (0.9 - 1.5 m). The lure appears exceptionally well-maintained, meriting a 5/5 condition rating for its clean surfaces and intact components. Developed for casting and twitching, the body construction reflects the high standards of USA-based manufacturing from that era.
